Are we Indebted to the Recipient Oh
Our FavOrs:

Rev. Mr.. Law, agent of the American Biolc
Society, In very emphatic manner asserteo
before the recent Abbeville District Bible so
ciety meeting that he "did not come here as q
beepor I" but boasted that he "can,e as ben
efactor" to this people, which assertion ieads
ns 10 reflections which would not have other-
wise occurred. Nobody had ever thought OF
him .sas a beggar," but If he did not come to
get our money, for what purpose did h'
Gomez II he did not come tor our money
was he true to his employers, when spendihf
his time and their money in incurring the eN
pense necessary to make the trip to Aooe-
VILE?
This community Is not set OF pension
ers on the American Bible Society, ana
we are not under any obligations to the pa
rent society. AS rule we present 10 the pa
rent society annually about one-half Of oul
gross receipts for which we get the privilege
OF buying our books at cost-the whole trans
action netting to the society about one nun
dred per cent. profit on any books which II
sells TO US.
To put the matter plainly and clearly before
the people, the Abbevlle District Bible Socie'
ty at It's last meeting gave the Parent Societ!
sixty dollars, and now We have the right u
purchase OF them sixty or seventy dollars
worth OF Bibles at cost-or in other words, VIC
can get $50 or SO worth OF Bibles for sl2O OF
$3.50.
With these facts before us we repudiate
Mr.. Laws assertion that he came here as a
henefactor" or as the distributor Of good gifts
TO our people. In our opinion, he does nc
such thing. We pay double price for all that
we get from the American Bible Society. We
could stand this, hut TO be told that we are
beneficiaries OF this same society to which we
are now paying double price for our books, Is
more than the Press dnd Rdnner is willing t'
accept without protest.
As q matter OF fact publishers any whert
would he exceedingly glad to make such ar
rangements, and would do so every day In
the year. Any merchant in the town would
be glad to sell his goods on the same terms
at cost-if the purchaser would In addition to
paying for what he bought make gift Of
money equal to the amount Of goods so sold
We use no unkind words In connection with
the American Bible Society's manner Of doing
business, and shall be willing to continue t.
pay double price for their Bibles, but we
think It q little too much OF O strain on the
Christian forbearance Of this community for
Its agents to come here and talk TO us as
II they were comforting favors.

DEAR S1R-In your last Issue OF the Press
and Banner you mention the fact that the
contract for taking care Of the paupers was
awarded to Mr.. Ramey Mt Si.75 per month,
per capita. This is certainly very low, even
under the circumstances, hut You omitted t.
state that in addition to the $L75 per capita
Mr.. Ramey gets the Poor House farm free Of
rent This farm. when Mr.. Jacob Miller had
the contract, made forty (i0) bales Of cotton,
besides oats. TIE rent OF this farm, with
dwelling and flrewood free, is q considerable
item In the way OF compensation; and 1t
may be that the paupers are some help In
tlling the same.
As to letting out the Jail birds to the lowest
bidder, have nothing To say, except that In
ore case the parties wait on themselves and
are glad TO stay-in the other they must be
waited on In every particular-wnter and
food taken to them and their slops taken out
every morning and taken away, and their
constant thought Is how not TO stag. II pau
per gets away the county has one less to feed.
If q prisoner gets away the keeper Is held IN
strict account and must catch him ut his own
expense. Respectfully, FAIR PLAY.
NoTE.-It will be seen that Fair Play" for
got to state that the County Commissioners
pay for the blankets, the fire wood, the doc.
tors bills, the collins, etc., for the prisoners,
while the contractor for the keep of the pau.
pers has to pay for these things.
